On June 18th, there was a torrential rain in the city of Kalan, and the hot weather immediately cooled down.

The newly arranged air-conditioning array was instantly ineffective, but it could not stop the curiosity of customers.

Many civilians from the Eastern District wore thick cotton clothes and went to the Forgotten Worries Tavern to experience the "power" of this magic circle air conditioning.

As a result, one or two of their noses were frozen blue, and they pointed to the wooden barrel where the circle was arranged and giggled.

Field brought in a team of masons yesterday to build the infrastructure around the square, but was forced to stop work because of the heavy rains.

A small part of the purchase was piled up in the corners of the square, and more were piled up in the wooden houses where the slums lived.

A few poor people lay on the edge of the windowsill with nothing to do, looking at the remaining rain after the rainstorm outside the window, and silently prayed in their hearts that the rain would end soon.

There are also some poor people who simply lie down in bed and sleep with their heads bored.

After heavy rain, the air is less restless and more fragrant, and even mosquitoes are less active at this time, which is a good time to sleep.

Adolf's payment for the clothes was also in place.

There are a total of 100 purple gold coins, which are a hundred times more valuable than gold coins, and they are filled with great power.

It is said to be made of a special ore that can speed up the meditation of magicians, and even warriors can directly use purple gold coins to assist in casting magicians' means with magic circles.

According to Field, 100 gold coins can be exchanged for 1 purple gold coin, and most of the time there is no market.

Adolf appears to be sincere in this deal.

Xiao Hei took out half of the purple gold coin and gave it to Athena.

It thought that Athena would accept it with joy, but Athena shook her head and took a purple gold coin and returned the rest of the money to Blackie.

Not only Athena, but also Sanka and Hezhestus.

It seems that Xiao Hei's unintentional investment has paid off.

With Xiao Hei as the center, they serve the tavern wholeheartedly, and have made the tavern their home.

They treat every tavern employee as their own family, and as for Xiao Hei, this is a figure similar to the patriarch of the family, who controls everything and has the right to speak.

"Are you going to the Hero Tavern today?" Xiao Hei looked at Sankadao, who was wearing a black raincoat and preparing to go out.

"Yes, although I don't have to go to the Hero Tavern every weekend to speak, this gramophone stone still needs to be changed regularly, otherwise it will lose a lot of customers. Sanka glanced back at the little black road on the table.

"Call Athena and let her accompany you. "Little underworld.

A few days ago, Adolf made a point of greeting it, saying that the Romantics would make moves in the near future.

But so far, the tavern has not had any accidents.

The more this is the case, the more uneasy Xiao Hei's heart becomes, which gives it the feeling of calm before a storm, which makes people feel a little suffocated.

Athena changed the guard with Leon at this time and came in through the back door of the tavern.

"Athena, you accompany Sanka to the Heroes' Tavern. Xiao Hei said directly.

"Yes!" Athena nodded, not asking why.

"I don't have to be like this, right? I'm a big man and I still need a woman to protect me?" Sanka was a little embarrassed.

"I'm relieved only when Athena goes with you. Xiao Hei waved his hand, "Let's go! Go early and come back early, I hope my worries are unnecessary." ”

"That. Sanka looked at Athena.

Athena raised her hand diagonally, "Master Sanka, please." ”

"Okay. ”

Sanka put his hat on and turned into the rain, and Athena followed with an oil-paper umbrella from the wall.

The rain curtain slowly wrapped the figures of the two.

"Otherwise, you might as well go back, you see your robes are wet. Sanka glanced back at Athena, who was following behind him, and persuaded him.

The oil-paper umbrella did not completely enclose Athena's body, and as her footsteps moved, starry spots of filthy mud clinging to the tail of the robe.

"It's my responsibility that the boss asked me to keep you safe, and I won't leave until I get you back to the Forgotten Tavern. Athena said calmly.

Athena was the one who was most influenced by the name, perhaps because the name was so famous, and almost everyone in the Blue Star knew that Athena's personality had changed dramatically.

She used to be a bit of an extrovert, but now she talks less and less, and spends more time thinking about problems.

The two of them came to the junction of the eastern and southern districts, where there is a small river ditch and a stone bridge connecting the two areas.

Just as Sanka was about to step onto the stone bridge, Athena suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"Stop, there was a problem, it was too quiet around. Athena cautiously looked around, "Even if it's raining, this bridge to the East End can't be without a person." ”

"No, could it be that you're thinking too much?" Sanka looked at the surface of the ditch.

Scattered raindrops hit the surface of the water, forming circular ripples that spread outward.

Is it under the bridge? This stone bridge is in the shape of an arch bridge, there is no support point, and it is impossible for Tibetans.

"Don't talk, let's go. Athena grabbed Sanka's wrist and turned to quicken her pace.

"Now that it's been discovered, there's no need to hide it anymore, the brothers are all out. ”

Behind the surrounding trees, at the corners of houses, there were many people walking out of the opposite side of the bridge.

These people are armed with scimitars and sharp swords, there are more than 20 in total, all of them have fat heads and big ears, and their faces are fierce, and they are not good people at first glance.

"We're surrounded!" Sanka subconsciously retreated behind Athena, pointing at the big man who was taking the lead and shouted, "You, who are you, what are you going to do?"

"Someone spends money to buy your head, we just use people's money and people to eliminate disasters, and you don't blame me. The leader waved his hand and shouted, "Do it!"

The surrounding thugs immediately swarmed up.

"How about it? Can it be solved?" Sanka's only thing he could rely on was Athena in front of him, and he regretted a little at the moment that he didn't listen to his boss just now and brought two more people out.

"These thugs are not ordinary people, and you will find a chance to escape later. Athena said quickly, then drew a few divine patterns on the palm of her hand with an olive branch, and slapped Sankar's shoulder with a strong palm, "It's now, run!"

The god pattern was imprinted on Sanka's shoulder, and Sanka's legs ran uncontrollably, fleeing into the distance along the gap between the villains.

At the same time, the shadow of the sword enveloped Athena's figure.

Faced with the threat of death, Athena did not hurry to take out the magic core left over from the previous drawing of the air conditioning circle.

At this moment, the dark blue magic core has turned into a very light light blue, and there is not much energy left in the magic core.

Athena's palm was forced, and the magic core turned into white fine sand that slipped from the crack of the fist, and the blue magic core energy entangled the surface of the fist.

"Magic Aegis!

Athena held up the olive branch, and the blue energy flowed down her fist to the olive branch on her other hand.

A blue shield of light spread out from the tip of the olive branch, enveloping her body.
